The Peabody Memphis
Plumbing problems, not just in my room either. Older and dated carpet and furniture. For the price, I think that You should expect more.

Big Cypress Lodge
Great property! Excellent staff, very nice room. A little dark but it was the theme (kinda missed daylight after two nights). The balcony was really peaceful. It would’ve been nice to have had a pool but other than that, excellent.
